first off just tell them its like a razor or something unless they ask for the imei number.. they cant stop u from using the phone without a data package.. and if they force u to.. add it and then call them back a day later and cancel it.. att tried that with me when i bout my wife a pantech duo.. i said no u dont.. they added it anyway and called them back and they removed it.. i dont want the email pakage.. i do use internet on my phones but just get the unlimited internet.. lot cheaper that way.. i currently use a tilt but still have my old q9h
